HUGH P. BEAL

Mr. Beal, who assumes his duties as Active Vice-President of Carolina Banking & Trust Company of this city today, believes Elizabeth City is a good town for a young man to cast his lot in. Mr. Beal has travelled around quite a bit as a Federal Reserve Bank Examiner in the Fifth District, and found many first-hand opportunities to size up towns thru their financial headquarters. Mr. Beal has had wide banking experience, beginning with the Peninsula Bank & Trust Company of Williamsburg, Va., later going with the big Schmelz National Bank of Newport News, and for the last four years has been an examiner of Federal Reserve Banks. He is a Mason, a Shriner, is single, and only 29 years old.
